A PSNI spokesman told us: “We haven’t received any reports and aren’t investigating at this time.”

Commenting on the seedy outdoor antics UUP MLA Michael Copeland said: “ There is a time and a place for everything but this clearly would not apply in this instance.

“Young people and licence holders of venues should be aware that over-consumption of alcohol and other substances can affect their future livelihoods and licences.

“Given the public nature of this incident I will be raising this matter at the earliest possible opportunity with one of my colleagues on the Policing Board.”

A Belfast City Council spokesman said the matter appeared at this point to be a matter for the PSNI.

East Belfast MP Naomi Long said: “I am concerned that young people, and young women in particular, are leaving themselves extremely vulnerable in such situations where often alcohol has been consumed to excess.

"Apart from the risk to their own safety and sexual health, such images going viral on the internet can have significant ramifications for people beyond the immediate commentary.

“However, I find the exclusive focus on the women and girls in such situations quite unjust. The notion of shaming women and girls for engaging in the same high risk sexual behaviours as their male counterparts, who are often lauded for the same behaviour, speaks volumes about society’s attitudes.

"It perpetuates stereotypes which are damaging to women and to men, rather than encouraging a culture of respect – for self and for others – in all our young people, regardless of gender.”
